This was separate from the administration of Nazi concentration camps, the SS Economic and Administrative Main Office (SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt),[1] and from the Reich Security Main Office, which administered the Gestapo, Kripo and SD.

Shortly after taking office, Jüttner was instrumental in wresting control of the militarized Death's Head regiments (Totenkopfstandarten) from Concentration Camps Inspectorate chief Theodor Eicke and amalgamating them into the Waffen-SS.

It was later found that the death march had been called off since the roads were blocked off by retreating German soldiers.
